“Inside the Works of Plath” Silvia Plath writings are considered to the first and best examples of confrontational and confessional poetry of her time. Plath had the uncanny ability to take real life events and turn them into surreal metaphor with in her poetry. Even though Plath poetry was unique for its time, her work shows the thumbprints of other poets that help to influence this distinctive style. One of those writers was T.S. Eliot. By time Plath was coming into her won as a poet, Eliot was already a legend and was arguably the most important English poet of the 20th century. It would be easy to see why Plath, aspiring to be a great poet herself, would be greatly influenced by Eliot.

One of the ways we can see Eliot’s influence on Plath is in her use of surreal imagery mixed with opposing ideas with in her poems. An example of this method can be found in her poem “Tulips.” In this poem Plath writes, “They have propped my head between the pillow and the sheet-cuff/ Like an eye between two whit lids that will never shut.” (8-9, Plath) The lines show Plath’s ability to cause tension in her poetry by giving her readers a smooth descriptive line and then following it with chaotic and unreal metaphors. This technique causes the surreal image to be delivered very quickly as the poem is being read. By using this technique as a resource, Plath is able to clearly covey her emotions to her readers. Eliot gives us the same effect in his poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” where he gives his readers a description of “Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows?”(72, Eliot) but then follows the line with a bizarre image “I should have been a pair of ragged claws/Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.”(73-74, Eliot). Although these poets’ uses of surreal metaphors seem similar, Plath gives this method her own stamp by personalizing it, unlike Eliot who used the character of Prufrock to convey emotion. By incorporating her personal feelings...

...she later committed suicide. One poem in particular that deals with mental anguish is “Poppies in July”. In this poem, Plath discusses issues regarding excessive emotions or wishing for annihilation, “A mouth jut bloodied. Little bloody skirts!” Plath seems to desire a life of intense experience, even to the point of suffering, “If I could bleed, or sleep!” The Title of the poem alone is an association with death and war as a poppy is the remembrance flower. It also can be said that the poppy refers to drugs which can lead to addiction and possibly inevitable death, “where are your opiates?” It is not that she is not in pain: she just can’t feel it, which brings its own anguish “there are fumes that I cannot touch”. It is quite obvious that Plath longs for release from her number state. The predominance of broad vowel sounds mirror the poet’s lethargic and numbed state of being. Yet Plath manages to juxtapose these broad vowel sounds with the more lively, slender sounds used to describe the flowers, “Little poppies, little hell flames”.
Another poem where her mental anguish is very obvious is in “The Arrival of the Bee Box”. This poem refers to releasing her fears and facing them, “If I just undid the lock and stood back… tomorrow I will be sweet God, I will set them free”. The ownership of the bees causes her to become hyperaware of her own sense of self. Plath uses the personal pronoun "I"...

...Legislation is already in place to protect women from harassment at work. Important legislation on domestic violence is pending. Passing legislation is a critical first step, now we must all continue to push for it to be effectively implemented and to change some entrenched mindsets.
Despite this progress, Pakistan is still bottom of the league (ranked 133 out of 135 countries) in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap report published last month. And earlier this summer, Pakistan was labelled the third most dangerous place in the world for women by the Thomson Reuters Foundation, due to the prevalence of domestic violence, so-called ‘honour’ killings, forced marriages, rape and physical and sexual abuse.
Millions of women in Pakistan do not have access to basic education, health care, family planning, finance, or jobs. Two-thirds of women can’t read or write.
As well as being unfair, Pakistan is missing out on the talent and productivity of half its population, holding back economic growth and opportunity: more equal countries have higher rates of economic growth.
The founder of Pakistan, Jinnah, didn’t think gender inequality was acceptable even in the 20th century and neither does the UK; that’s why the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) is doing all it can to support Pakistan in empowering women and girls and ending violence against them.
To this end, DFID will work to do this by strengthen legislation...

Introduction
In this report, I will draw on theories into my work experience in a local English training school in my hometown, to analysis their communication system, and then make some recommendations to improve their school performance.
Description
Last summer, I worked as a registration assistant in a private languages school called Younger; it is a small private English training school, which aims at improving student’s overall English ability to get higher score in English Test. Within Younger organization, the formal communication between school leaders and employees that rely on paper-based format; the informal communication occurs teachers and students that prefer to face-to-face chats. According to the school communication study of Fred C. the formal communication which focuses on exchange the information regarding the work-related of school, and informal communication which emphasises the unofficial message that unrelated to the schools education activities. For Younger school case, I will draw the classical approach theories to analyse formal communication, and using the culture approach to examine the informal communication. Through the analysis, I will find some problems about Youngers’ communications, and give them some suggestions, to help them get improvement in the future.
Analysis

Younger’s formal communication system between employer and employee is...

There is a crisis in social work which requires a radical analysis of the contradictions within contemporary social work. The confusion about the role of social work and the declining morale and self-confidence of social workers have resulted in the loss of experienced staff and reluctance of young people to consider a career in social work. This analysis inevitably challenges the present culture of professional training.
Proposals to increase the professionalism among social workers have created a crisis in social work. Increasing professionalism will remove social workers further from the people they serve. Questions are already being asked about the value of academic social work training and whether it adequately prepares people for the realities of the job. The social work task is best learned by students working with people in the community who are committed to social change.
There is more to social work than simply conforming to, and fitting in with organizations that employ social workers. The ability to show a certain independence of thinking is what makes the social worker a professional. Social work has a rich history of this independent thinking. Social work as a profession should assert that the assessment of a client's needs should not only be driven by the availability of resources but should also be...

The bridge itself was later cast at his ironworks in Coalbrookdale by his grandson, Abraham Darby III, leaving him in debt for the rest of his life - a small price to pay for becoming a part of industrial history!
Set in the heart of the Severn Gorge, the area soon became known as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and is now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a result.
The 100-foot, 378-tonne Bridge was opened to traffic in 1781 and remained open for over 150 years before closing in 1934 to serve the rest of its days as a monument.
It tells us that the ironbridge in coalbrookdale was a land scape and a mark on history, a big iron bridge the first of its kind in Britain.
During the Industrial Revolution, work patterns started to change from farming and household chores to factory and mine working. This brought on more machines working rather than humans. This was a huge change for people during this period of time. Most people worked for generations (mostly farmers and peasants) doing the same thing their families did for years. This pattern seemed to decrease until the coming of industrial production occurred and then there were hardly any workers and the unemployment rates went up. Soon farmers and craftsmen who had been hard-working people became clerks and machine operators. More and more people moved closer to the city. In 1800, Europe had an over 100,000 population in just 20 cities, but in 1900 the population grew and...
